Featured staff: Randy Renken using Voicethread


Randy came to Ed Tech early this semester looking for a way to create visuals to teach his students names and parts of the human skeleton. Typically Voicethread is a great tool for class interaction - however, it also is a tool which allows you to stop video action. This, combined with voice recording and the ability to annotate on top of the movie, proved to be not only a great collaborative tool, but also a great tool for creating presentations. Guy Hamernik took Randy's collection of bones, placed them on a turntable covered with black velvet and videoed each bone. Randy took it from there and narrated an entire collection of videos. Here's a sample:
